In Her Own Words
 
I was about to drop out at 11th grade because my parents could no longer afford to keep me in school while my father was seriously sick. Luckily, I got scholarship support from GATE program on time and it enabled me to continue to stay in school until finishing 12th grade at Svay Chek High School.
 
When I was in 12th grade, I requested the program to continue supporting me to university if I passed high school national board exam. After I passed high school exam, Cambodian Women’s Crisis Center (CWCC) requested to Lotus Outreach (LO), the donor, to continue to support my study at university. Now I get the support from LO as requested! I promise to study hard to achieve my goal.
 
Finally I would like to sincerely thank the donor for supporting me through university. I hope that you will continue to support me throughout the 4 years at university. I wish you fill with happiness, success, and good health forever.
